So, my fifth generation US citizen grand children are not “natural born citizens” because their natural born US citizen married a foreign national. The other grand children, whose parents are married US citizens, are “natural born citizens”.
Bizarre, indeed. You really expect a court to rule this way? I don’t.
It’s very clear and was understood, taught and known to be the standard definition of Natural Born Citizen:
Born on US soil, to parents (note the plural!) who are US citizens.
If the foreign national parent is naturalized, then any children born after the parent is a naturalized citizen are, by definition, NBCs. Both parents have to be citizens, but they don’t have to be NBCs. Just “regular” citizens.
Sorry you don’t like it, hon, facts are facts. Sentimentalism and emotionalism are no way to run a country.
